you must check with the school. my university requires that a rn-bsn program student holds a license in the state. they make an exception for students who are in an adn program within the state and who have permission by instructors to start the program prior to graduation. very very few students are allowed to do this (i was one). however, once i graduated i was given a few months to gain my license or risk being dropped from the program. the courses i was allowed to take prior to graduation were beginning courses and electives open to non-rns as well as rns. afterwards the courses were strictly for rns. students who are traditional and accelerated take the same courses but my university separates us from them as much as possible.... within our classes the passing criteria and expectations is slightly higher (so we are told), thus we were encouraged to be actively employed or have current work experience by the bedside prior to entering the program. gl!
My online RN-BSN program (state university) requires an active RN license, and malpractice insurance. The name kinda says it all, *RN* to BSN, but check with whatever school you are interested in.

this sounds just like my rn-bsn program; i was enrolled in it one year into my adn program. i was limited from taking three of the last nursing courses in the rn-bsn program until i got my rn license.
